Benefits of technology
The gas seal column technology provides the benefits of a continuous run dry capability, which means the pump can operate without any contact between rotating and stationary components, which can save money and reduce the likelihood of product leakage. Additionally, the technology allows for real-time monitoring and control of the product, and alerts operators to potential issues in order to prevent damage to the pump equipment. Furthermore, using the gas seal column technology can prevent corrosion and damage to the motor bearings, which could save money by eliminating the need for a bearing pedestal.
Problems solved by technology
In the pumping world dominated by horizontal pumps of all different styles, mechanical seals or shaft packing glands are the most troublesome and highest maintenance cost items over all other pump components.
However, such pumps typically apply standard pump components that do not permit elongation or shortening through a telescoping feature.

The gas seal column pump may comprise a pump drive, a gas seal column with a corrosion resistant telescoping liner, a seal gas control box, and a pump. A drive motor of the pump drive, the gas seal column, and the pump may comprise a sealed, vertically-oriented, pumping system where the gas seal column is operable to replace mechanical seals around a drive shaft that couples the drive motor to the pump. A pressurized seal gas pumped into the gas seal column may displace corrosive fumes and the product being pumped. An unsealed pump drive motor may be used for certain applications. The vertical length of the telescoping liner may be controlled to mitigate interference with pump operation. Responsive to inputs from the level sensors, a seal gas control box may regulate the pressure of the seal gas using a plurality of valves.
